Welcome to the Forum Archive!

Years of conversation fill a ton of digital pages, and we've kept all of it accessible to browse or copy over. Whether you're looking for reveal articles for older champions, or the first time that Rammus rolled into an "OK" thread, or anything in between, you can find it here. When you're finished, check out the boards to join in the latest League of Legends discussions.

BTW, can you please explain some of the bugs Karthus has? I run Karthus as a supportive mage top lane to abuse his wall and ability to proc spell effects like Sweeper and Rylai's and he works well enough.

Also, soraka isn't tier 1 in bottom lane? Well I guess that makes sense for upper elo and such, but in lower elo she tears phonebooks in half.

A lot of people will get an early EC if they see Soraka. In draft, maybe Ignite as well. Soraka's Q can push the lane early on but once people hit 6 she's at a disadvantage against many matchups. Its mostly because her Q pushes a lot, giving the opponent a lot of time to stick to her once they initiate.

Chronicle, Sauron, Jax bot had been a thing on eu-w for a while now. You should know Chronicle, with all the time Sylian (and daviddos too) spend talking about him

And Malzahar's tier placement is mostly AD Malzahar, it'd seem. AD Malzahar is pretty darn useless on top lane, where all the AoE insta-gib his voidlings.

For how long? I started running Jax as a backup bot laner when his E remake went through on the Sejuani patch. That was around the time people started target banning my Jarvan in the NESL, and the new Jax ended up being a superior alternative.

And yes most of the Malzahars I see are AD as they do win bot lane against AP.

Yeah, from all indicators I've seen, the EU scene is somewhat behind the US scene at the moment. I don't think Lulu's even considered OP there right now. Might have something to do with the tourneys there being some bizarre amalgamation of banning draft + blind pick, although they're finally draft now.

Her CC is ridiculous while still maintaining decent damage and ratios. She is near impossible to catch with melee, she supports both ranged and melee carries equally well, and shield + q is one of the most aggravating things to play against imaginable. There really is no reason to pick any other support, or AP for that matter, over her, except maybe Kassadin who she's a close second to.

The Eu-w meta is "behind" right now, if it is (and not just slightly different), because a combination of D3 and being fed up with the OP champions getting spammed, and 0 Draft Mode more or less gutted the upper echelons of the Elo player-base.

Things are healthy enough 2.k Elo and under (not sure about the 2.2k realm, but it seems so-so), but the higher echelons were absolutely gutted by D3 and players just getting fed up.

Lolmatches, or just random luck, also resulted in yes, a bit more OP spamming by people who want to see their name at the top, though reasoning is purely conjecture.

Not many people play Lulu, so on that front you could say people are behind.

I still wish they'd join the fora. The main issue on eu-w is information propagation, as the "Community" is less active, less forum posters, less chat-room goers, etc. But we're trying to make headways.
